Szia Attila,
A less known monastery than the "James Bond" one, but equally spectacular to me, nice scan where I like a lot the foreground snaking road, better would it be if it were not cut a bit on the left but apart from that you have found a great PoV.
Have a nice sunday JY

Nice view, Attila, with the curved road as an excellent lead-in element, and the monastery buildings framed very well by these cliffs. A superb place for photography.

Cheers

Hi Attila,
I am always fascinated by structures built atop mountains and/or rocks. What an engineering feat. THis is superbly captured. The road curve is graceful and is balanced bt the texture of the rocks. Best regards, Danilo

Szia Attila,
Fantasztikus kép erről a festői helyről, a kompozíció nagyon látványos. 1992-ben jártam itt és az egyik legnagyobb élményem ma is, emlékszem micsoda kaland volt megmászni ezeket a vadregényes monostorokat. A részletek gyönyörűek, a fények ugyancsak. Gratulálok, és szép vasárnap délutánt kívánok!

hi Attila
nice architecture, at the foot of the cliff, very good looking place, the light is good, the curve of the road is a very good bonus
vertical framing is just perfect, like the POV :))
all the photos from this place are so impressive, one day i will decide to see it by my own eyes, it's worth to be seen, it's sure !

Hello Attila,
Meteora is a very famous and impressive place in my country.I like very much the way you composed the image using the road in front to help the perspective and lead the eye.The rocks to back stand great and still makes an impression even to me,who I visited many times this place.Informative note also!

Greetings,
Thomas

Olá Attila, great POV over this amazing place and superb composition with the very atractive winding road in foreground leading us as if we were in a roling coaster. And suddenly, we bump on that misterious set of Nature. Excellent shot.

A very good composition where you used the road as a guideline to lead the eyes through the picture! Good exposure to preserve details in both highlights and shadows! I wish I could visit this place again! Thank you for sharing!

Szia Attila!
Tetszik mindenek előtt a kép harmonikus színvilága - mintha a régiek ügyesebbek lettek volna abban, hogyan helyezzék el az építményeiket a tájban. Aztán, bár ezek a házak nem a csúcsokon ülnek, a sziklás környezet így is lélegzetállító.
Üdv

• stego (16638)
• [2007-12-09 12:55]

Hi Attila,
An impressive view, that allowed you a great compo. The winding road eases nicely the compression of perspective induced by the long focal length, which suits well the BG anyway, by enhancing a sense of distant dreamy vision. The shadow on the cliff helps the monastery standing up. The quality is superb, specially for a scan. The signs of time that are noticeable in the less vibrant colours make part of the charm and only the green really suffers.
Regards, José.

Ciao Attila, ecco qualcosa che volevo vedere a tutti i costi durante l'ultimo mio viaggio in Grecia e non sono riuscito...
Bellissimo l'angolo da cui l'hai presa.
E' un peccato la strada asfaltata... se ci fosse un sentiero sterrato sarebbe davvero un salto indietro nel tempo.

A very good photo of this monastery from a good POV. The light is fine and I really like the diagonals in the surrounding rocks. I like that there is no sky visible. Well done!

I like the high POV showing the buildings in and on the rocks enwinded by the curves of the road. The good textures of the walls and the rocks are pleasant and enhanced by the light.

Hello Attila
Had seen some pictures of this place recently, posted by Philip (testmaniac)...but they were from a different POV. The snake like road provides a perfect lead-in & the monastery is well framed by the steep cliffs, with deep striations. A fine shot my friend.

Szia Attila!
Szóval a dunántúli sorozat után tovább festegeted a térképedet!! :D
Húúú, nagggyon impozáns! Hát tényleg nem semmi: a hely is meg a fotód is!
Nagyszerű kontraszt és kompozíció, kiváló élesség!
A színek egy kicsit fakóak az én ízlésemnek és itt is hiányolom a megszokott keretet! :)

Hello Attila,
It is always fascinating when people pick the worst possible places to build their houses... But the result is often impressive!
Monasteries and castles, around the globe, seems like they all are attracted to places like this, probably for defence reasons...
This si a fine composition, attractive colours and sharp fine details!
